What to know about jurisdiction

Not all court forms can be used across jurisdictions. When looking for the correct form you must first know in which jurisdiction your legal issue would reside, i.e., federal or state. You must also know what court division will handle your issue, i.e., traffic, domestic relations, bankruptcy, etc.
